WVU Dean Pushes Wood Industry to Halt West Virginia Migration
West Virginia faces a massive population exodus says Dr. Ernest J. Nesius, dean at WVU, warning 40 to 50 percent may seek new homes in the next decade. He advocates expanding wood processing, better roads, capital, and education to boost timber income and slow migration. Also notes Kanawha County seeks a $2.5 million federal recreation grant to boost county facilities. Indonesia's Sukarno arrives in Tokyo on goodwill trip.
